A recent story in The Wall Street Journal looked at students who went to
celebrated universities such as Columbia University and New York University,for
advanced degrees in subjects like art,film and even social work.Many of the
students said they learned a lot.However,when they graduated,they were deep in
debt and did not think they would find work that would let them pay back their
loans.
Students said they spoke with Columbia University about the high cost of
advanced arts degrees but never received a reasonable answer.Education experts
say the school is very wealthy,with large funds.The University,however,prefers
to ask the students to pay the full cost.
Kevin Carey is a higher education expert for New America,a public policy
research center.He called the master's degree"a scam"in a conversation.
"Charging people a ton of money to go into any artistic career is often super
problematic.he said.
Castillo is an actor in New York City.He earned an MFA from The Actors
Studio in New York City.Was his MFA worth the cost?"I do think it was worth it.l
don't put a price tag on my education or my experience.I think it's sort of
unfortunate that so many people take education for granted."Castillo said
students who are thinking about an advanced degree in art should be sure they
are doing it because they value the education.not because they want money or to
be famous.
Plazinska is a filmmaker in New York City.She attended graduate school both
at Baylor University in Texas and at the University of lowa.Arts graduate
programs can help students meet and make friends with fellow artists with
whom they can work throughout their careers.For school to be of value,students
need to remember why they started making art in the beginning."It's just for the
pure pleasure of creating and fulfilling myself this way."
